‘Prometheus 2′ Gets A Writer, Moving Ahead!

Well finally some good news for the Prometheus sequel. Variety is reporting that Fox and Ridley Scott are in talks with Jack Palgen (Transcendence, 2014) to write the follow-up to the 2012 sci-fi blockbuster. They are also reporting that Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are expected to return to reprise their roles, Elizabeth Shaw and David 8. Scott will be producing again through his company, Scott Free, but is unknown if he will direct and no other director has been named yet either. Even without a director, hopefully once they get a screenwriter confirmed, they can move forward. Prometheus 2 is looking for a 2014 or 2015 release date. If they end up in 2015, they are going to have serious competition at the theaters. So I think Fox would probably like to get it done sooner than later. (Source: Variety.com)
